Farmer Tins Young Man.

Borrowing money is very favOrite prac-
tice with the Irish farmer, and until recent
period the banks made the qualification OF
this taste extremely easy. A Cork car driver
lately said to his fare why, sir, awhile
ago farmer need only put on n clean shirt
and go to the bank and he'd get what lie
wante1." Tue expectations, however OF
some of the borrowers were too great, rs the
following incident. which really occurred
very amusingly shows:
A certain small farmer, whom we shall call
Tim" for convenience, some years ago
called upon the manager OF the national bank
in town in the northeast Of tue County
Cork. The following dialogue eusued: Good
morning, your honor; | called about a little
business, and though there are other banks
in the town thought I'd give yer honor the
compliment" well, yer honor, the interest
in Kitty Keeffes farm is selling off, and want
to raise $500 to buy it," Nonsense, Tim
the interest in her farm isn't worth anything
like that but suppose was fool enough 10
lend you this money, how would you ever
pay il back p rs il pay it again, yer honor
Nothin' aisier in life. Shure the young fel-
low would get it in fortune when he mar
ries." "And may ask Tim, what age is
the young fellow?' "Hes three-year Ould,
yer honor" 1t need hardly be said that the
manager did not see it, and Tim, in spite OF
his wish to give him the compliment" was
refused the loan of the $500. Perhaps Tins
shirt was not "cleaa" enough on the occa-
sion.

His Side Remark Was just What the
Priest Did Hear.

Father O'IIalOran had telephone put
into the parsonage in connection with the
church, the parUchial school, etc. Patrick
McFee, his reycrence's handy man, was in
structed in the use of the instrument, and it
was only the next day when Pat, busting out
the church, heard the clatter of the telephone
bell. Taking down the receiver he was
pleased to hear Father OIIalloran's familiar
voice asking him something or other about
his work. Pat, in essaying to answer, re-
membered that his reverence was long
way of, and consequentlyihollered into the
transmitter at the top of his voice. II don't
understand you, Pat" said the telephone
Pat tried again with no better success. On
his third trial he came near splitting the tel
ephone, but again came father OHalloran's
voice: 81 can't hear what you are saying, Pat
rick" Pat had by this time lost something
of his patience, and as he stood gathering his
breath for fourth blast he couldn't refrain
from soiloquizipg in a low tone: "Ah! may the
devil fly away wild de ould fool But Pat
dropped the telephone like hot potato and
fell to his knees in dismay when he heard Fa-
ther O'Halloran's voice once again: Now
hear you perfectly, Patrick"

Mr.. BLAINE's opinion OF SALISBURY
was that ne WAS first i,ol aud atterward

have invited hun to lead the ministry.
Mrs. CRAWFORD asked Mr.. BLAINE's
permission to publish what ne had sail, TO
which he consented, and then, on second
thought, begged Eer 10; 10 say anything,
